P.S. i should mention - to prove mommy still does sew and make things she made the groom's prince charming costume. Thyrza had most of the pattern figured out but mommy spent the last week putting it together and making the crown...

Mommy and daddy were gone all day yesterday. From 8:30am until 3:30am.... I was getting worried. Mommy came home with funny hair and make up I had to lick her a whole bunch because she looked like a whore! get that caked on make up off mommy!!! I can't believe she was out in public like that. Daddy had on funny clothes too.I found out it was because they were at

I wish I had been there. I could have gone onstage with the drag queens too.... Or I could have done a stripetease - i take my clothes off and run around naked all the time.oh well... I'm glad they are home all day today..

i haven't been able to take a picture of my christmas presents.. Mommy has been hogging the camera. Yesterday she had the bettery charging all day for a wedding. I don't know what that is but apprently it doesn't involve me. Less then impressed about that, Mom and Dad were all dressed up today and left me all alone all afternoon. It isn't over either - mommy has been sewing for the 'wedding' for 3 days now. She is making a costume for Erez. As long as she isn't sewing for me I am happy. ALthough she ignores me when she is sewing.Two more days and then Mommy promises she is 100% mine. She has no job and nothing to do for anyone else. YIPPEE. We will go for walks everyday. Apparently we have to baby proof the house too - stupid birdie likes to chew so we are going to have to pick everything up. I don't know where it is all going to go - she is so small she will fit in every nook and cranny.I am so small I went into the couch the other day heh heh. Mommy and Daddy slept on the fold out couch and when mommy was pushing the mattress in I jumped into the couch! YIPPEE!!! I just sat there while mommy yelled at me to get out. See she was holding the mattress up and if she put it down I would be squished, she couldn't push it in any further cause I was sitting there. So she called and called and called and I just sat there and looked at her like I didn't understand what she was saying. The she started yelling at Daddy. He pretended he didn't understand what she was saying for a long time too. Finally he showed up and then I knew I better move so I got out of the couch, It was fun bugging mommy though.Oh oH ohhh and more stupid things we did.. the other morning Mommy's alarm went off. When she sat up to turn it off Daddy got up- rolled over - and pushed her eye with his finger!!! He thought mommy's eye was the alarm button! HA HA HA HAA!!!! Mommy said ow and cried but daddy just rolled over and went back to sleep. Mommy's eye was watering so badly she couldn't see properly to turn off the real alarm. I thought it was pretty funny. When daddy woke up WAYYY later Mommy asked him if he knew what he had done - which he did. I think daddy did it on purpose. HA HA HAAAA. Maybe I will pretend Mommy's face is my food dish tonight and start digging on it while she sleeps.ok ok ok - it is bedtime....

OMG.... I saw it - her - it.... It was freaky... I was in the car waiting for Mommy and Daddy. When they came to the car they had this THING. It was small and it squeaked. i was kinda excited so I wagged my tail but I was totally freaked out so I barked a whole bunch and hide as far as I could - but I was trapped in the car with it...AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! scary...i am still freaked out.i also got a bunch of montreal smoked meat today from my new friend carl. But don't tell daddy he gets mad. That puppy was freaky. Scary.

I got to see Santa last night. FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS CHRISTMAS. But this one was the real one - the first one was a 15 yr old kid with a bad white beard. This one was at the MALL - he was real. There was lots of other puppies at the mall too and I was good and said hi to all of them. Someone even commented on how social I was being. (Mommy was impressed that I wasn't hiding or wanting 'upsies')Mommy made me a collar for Xmas too - not sure why she is trying to be secrective about it - it's on flickr and I was there when she made it. Weirdo. But now it is in my stocking. Birdie gets one too - it is under the tree.

I got me a new sweater yesterday. Mommy was supposedly sewing a raincoat for a puppy for a Christmas present but instead came around the corner with this. Apparently there is enough left over to make Birdie a sweater too. Mommy has been buying gap sweaters from value village that people shrink and get rid of and been sewing them into sweaters for me. I have another striped pink one too. There is one more sweater sitting in her fabric basket waiting!!!! red and orange stripes...

I have presents under the tree - FOR ME and they smell good. Mommy wrapped them yesterday while I watched. I tried to pull them out of the paper whenever she reached for tape or scissors. I think I will unwrap them and Daddy's while everyone is at work today.... She has presents for Birdie too - Birdie won't even be here until after Xmas and is too little for presents so I will open hers for her.

Tuesday, December 13, 2005

Mommy wanted me to apologize for letting this become a puppy dominated blog. She was so busy with brigadoon that is all she did for the past two months -every night every day every weekend. And it makes for boring pictures after awhile. They made ALL the costumes - 3 people made complete outfits for 30 actors. Mommy looked pretty horrible by the end.....ANyways she says she is going to finish the scarf she started in AUgust that was going to be a Xmas present and then she is going to have to knit birdie a sweater cause she is to small for my clothes.... So soon my pretties.. there will be new and interesting things to show you all and make you jealous and covet mommy's wonderful ability to multitask. (HA HA NOT!)

mommy wrapped a present today for Daddy - but it smells good. I think I want it. I have never been very good at waiting until Xmas so I think I will open it tonight when Daddy gets home. If she really didn't want me to have it she would not have left it sitting there under the tree... so obvious... and smelling good. Daddy won't mind cause then he can see what is in it too.

Saturday, December 10, 2005

mommy is done work on brigadoon FINALLY. today we kinda slept in - we had to get up at 9:30 cause I had to go to school. Daddy and I tried to convince MOmmy we shouldn't go but it didn't work. SHe was really cranky all the way there too. Daddy and me didn't practise all week so I wouldn't do what I was told. And daddy didn't help her get anything ready. But she cheered up after she went to starbucks. Daddy was with me in class this week again (last week mommy was with me and Daddy watched) so just to tick off daddy I cried the entire time again and looked as sadly as possible at mommy. It isn't working somehow - she used to always rescue me but now she lets me suffer. I will keep trying.That mean bulldog nacho wasn't there this week but the great dane was. Bella and I (the other chihuahua) hung out together and shared a blanket. The teacher tried to use me as an example on how to "come" today - she said because "I had so much to say" whatever I was yelling for my MOM! ANyways when she said "come" I tried to run to Mommy. It didn't work- they stopped me and made me sit on that cold pavement.Yuck...but then we went to get our christmas tree - that was fun. I picked one out but M and D said it was too small. We have pictures but the battery for the camera is recharging so it will have to wait.......Now I am going to bed. WITH MOMMY BEFORE 2:00AM - YIPPEE!!!!!!!

Thursday, December 8, 2005

I am giving the show 2 out of 5 greenies and the tow greenies are for mommie's costumes.Not only did I have to sit the dark for 2 hours but I wasn't allowed to run around. I barked at the director and I barked at the artistic director.Yup. No Good.I think they should keep the lights on and let me run around, and there should be some more doorbell noises.AND it keeps my Mommy far away everynight. She said only 2 more nights and then she will be home again. I can't wait.

Chilled Vancouver commuters faced their second day of winter hell today,asan additional 1 centimetre of the peculiar white stuff fell, bringing thelower mainland to its knees and causing millions of dollars worth of damageto the marijuana crops. Scientists suspect that the substance is some formof frozen water particles and experts from Saskatchewan are being flown in.With temperatures dipping to the almost but not quite near zero mark,Vancouverites were warned to double insulate their lattes before venturingout.

Vancouver police recommended that people stay inside except for emergencies,such as running out of espresso or biscotti to see them through Vancouver'smost terrible storm to date. The local Canadian Tire reported that they hadcompletely sold out of fur-lined sandals.

Drivers were cautioned to put their convertible tops up, and several havebeen shocked to learn that their SUV's actually have four wheel drive,although most have no idea how to use it.

Weary commuters faced soggy sushi, and the threat of frozen breast implants.Although Dr. John Blatherwick, of the Coastal Health Authority reassuredeveryone that most breast implants were perfectly safe to 25 below,down-filled bras are flying off the shelves at Mountain Equipment Co-op.

"The government has to do something," snarled an angry Trevor Warburton. "Ididn't pay $540,000 for my one bedroom condo so I could sit around and betreated like someone from Toronto."

if she only knew how true it was - Mommy even went out and got SNOW TIRES for the RAIN. Real clever Mommy. I refused to poop. Daddy didn't work for a few days.... How dreadful this blizzard has been - heh heh

i was cuter....Mommy's show opens on Friday. I have hardly seen her. She comes home at 2:00am.... It is horrible... then I want to play but she just goes to sleep. and then daddy gets mad at me for waking him up with all the toys.Mommy said I might get to go to dress rehearsal tonight - if I do I will review the show...For anyone who wants to go Mommy can get discounted tickets so send her an email....

i had fun this weekend with christine at a doggy XMas party - even sat on Santa's lap but I will have to write more later and Mommy is taking the computer away.

Mommy and Daddy are EVIL. I started school on SAT. Mommy kept telling me I was but I didn't know what it is. I was sooo scared! Mommy sat and watched and Daddy went to school with me. There were some BIG DOGS! A great Dane, a rotweiller, a german shepard and a bulldog. But there were some little dogs too, another chihuahua, two poms, a papillion. I HATED IT. I CRIED THE ENTIRE CLASS FOR MOMMY TO COME GET ME. Daddy was pretty mad. But I kept crying. I thought for sure MOmmy would come pick me up - but she is so horrible she didn't. They made me "heel" and "stay" what a joke. NEVER. The Papillion peed on the floor - maybe I will try that next week. Oh - yah - I pooped in Auntie Thyrza's house. Heh heh. I was mad at everyone for ignoring me, and I had to poop. I hope I don't have to go to school again. Yuck.

Friday, November 25, 2005

guess what auntie steph - Mommy and Daddy decided to be like you! Daddy ran out of bed and by the time me and MOmmy caught up to him both of their cars looked like yours. Mommy is okay - just more stress to her bad week. But POOR POOR DADDY lost his most favourite thing in the world. His golf clubs. His NEW golf clubs. I heard Mommy saying she would get him some new ones. He was very sad. I tried to cheer him up by acting silly with my baboon but it didn't work.So if there was anyone out there who was going to get him a Xmas present how about putting $$ towards his golf clubs - HINT HINT Grandma, Grandpa, very rich strangers and everyone else. Mommy can't take a picture for my blog because her camera is at work. Hopefully it will get fixed tomorrow cause it will be a rainy Vancouver day.Poor Mommy and Daddy....

Mommy is stressed.Mommy's boss is sick in hospital so now Mommy has to work extra hard and TRY NOT TO SCREW UP THE TV SHOW. Ha ha ha ha. So if any of you watch the 12th episode of Da Vinci's (a few months from now) and people are dressed kinda weird - boys in ball gowns, ladies in diapers and the chief of police in my chihuahua sweaters - YOU KNOW WHY. Or maybe just maybe - she will put everyone from Da Vinci in Brigadoon costumes and everyone in Brigadoon in Da Vinci costumes. HA HA HA HAAAAAA. This will be fun. I could help but it is more fun to sit back with Daddy, watch her freak out and laugh. Yes that is what I will do.Still no word on the puppy - waiting to hear from the landlady. I am thinking since Mommy is stressed out she is yelling at me more and if I had a baby sister she would be to busy yelling at her so maybe this would be a good thing. I guess we have to wait until the weekend.

Sunday, November 20, 2005

OMG.This looks bad.Mommy found that picture of the baby online - and now she is talking to the lady about the baby. AND I heard her talk about going to see the baby. This does not look good. NOT AT ALL.They still have to ask the landlady. I have a plan - poop on her doorstep. On her driveway. EVERYWHERE and stinky stuff too. Maybe I can get the horny pug next door to help out. There must be a way of stopping this.Start a letter writing campaign. send them too:Susan,Big white house at end of street,Vancouver BC,CanadaTell her how her house will be ruined with another chihuahua and how unhappy she will be. Please help me.

Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

Mommy just asked me to tell everyone to watch Da Vinci's tonight so that MAYBE JUST MAYBE THEY WILL TURN THE HEAT ON IS THIS FRICKING (no grandma it isn't really a swear word when spelled that way) FREEZING BUILDING. Perhaps if enough people will watch they will get higher ratings and more money so they can turn on the heat.It is bloody colder inside then it is outside. Mommy works in an OFFICE and she wears her puffy coat and scarf all day long at work. WHat is the point of spending $100 of dollars at target, winners and ross dress for less on cute clothes if they are all covered up by a big puffy coat and scarf. And we live on the west coast it is not supposed to be cold - it is supposed to be WARM!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHH!!!! TURN ON THE HEAT!!!!!! We can't sew when our fingers are frozen.....

This was a pumpkin mommy made at work for her pumpkin carving contest - mommy's team only cam in 2nd. I was there that day and I saw the other pumpkins and I think mommy's should have won. It is a little hard to tell but it is the lead acto's face from her tv show. The inside of the pumpkin was covered in sequins.

Me in my sexy cop uniform - do you like my shiny gun.

me helping Heather sew. She thought I was in the way and taking up too much time. Whatever. I was helping... I went to work with mommy all weekend. I helped her do fittings and said hi to all the actors. Then we went to the studio and did even more work. Sometimes I get a little bored though.

Mommy was in seattle yesterday and she got me a new bag - WE LOVE IT. It is from Ross Dress for Less and it is a Nicole Miller puppy bag. It is the BEST bag ever. Lots of pockets and stuff... She got me pretty pink pearl necklace from target too. I wish i could have gone to seattle too.... I got left at home with Daddy who ignored me. Although not as much as Mommy does when she is working so much. If I knew how to drive I would go to visit auntie steph or someone.... anyone....oh and daddy made me cookies the other night and Auntie Penny ate one - everyone is so weird... Doesn't Auntie Penny know they are MY COOKIES?

mommy is never home anymore. I miss her. Last night she was only home for 1/2 an hour before she went to bed and then she left again this morning. Things aren't very exciting without Mommy around. EVen though Daddy and Penny are here. I miss Mommy. I have more pictures from Halloween on Mommy's camera but I don't know how to put them on the computer - maybe Mommy will help me this weekend - if she ever comes home.

Wednesday, October 26, 2005

look what I got today! My first fan letter - and a talented fan at that. I think I will fire Mommy and hire her to do my winter collection - since Mommy hasn't even started and it is getting cold.I will say there has been some progress on my halloween costume - it is a secret as to what it is. Not as good as Elvis but I think I will look pretty smart.

This is me supervising daddy with the turkey - it was even bigger then me!DADDY'S TURKEY of which I was given NONE as usual.my new food dishes - space age fantastic.I have no pictures from mom 's birthdya cause they all suck and none of her presents smelled good or squeaked.Mommy sais she was going to make me a new sweater tonight but she didn't. Grrrrrr....

Sunday, October 16, 2005

ok i have some pictures of mommy'a birthdya to post but that is boring compared to what I will tell you now. I got to go to Value Village and Winners today!!! And instead of sitting in my bag with it all zipped up I got to sit in a shopping cart like a real person!!!! It was so much fun!Mommy put my blanket down on the little seat section and then I sat there and she pushed me around the stores. I sniffed lots of clothes - lots and lots and lots. I think Mommy looked at even more. Sometimes when peole would come close enough I would sniff them too. It was great. Penny was with us too. After awhile in Winners it got boring so I went to sleep. Too many clothes. I knew why daddy stayed home.Value village was a little bit more fun cause there was lots more smells there! I smelled EVERYTHING. But I was so tired. I asked Mommy for uppies and she picked me up and carried me around - I fell asleep for a little bit. Shopping is so exhausting - I never knew. Now I know why Mommy comes home from work sooo tired. I slept all the way home in the car. I had to have abig nap too.But I like it - I want to go shopping more. I wish they let me in the fabric stores. and Grocery store. I always have to wait outside those places.Oh and Sat. we even went in the pet store and I got a big bone and new toy.Yay!

Friday, October 14, 2005

This is the shirt daddy made for me - I am super girl in it. I still didn't give Mommy anything fofr her birthday - in fact I practically ignored her yesterday. HA HA!I played with Penny who is visiting us... I like Penny.I am superpuppy!!!!

Thursday, October 13, 2005

It's Mommy's birthday and guess what - I GOT HER NOTHING!!!!! Maybe I will give her lots of kisses - or maybe not. Maybe I will take her for a walk tomorrow. OR MAYBE NOT. I am a cute puppy I don't have to give Mommy ANYTHING!!!!!!!

Saturday, October 8, 2005

Look Daddy is sewing. I don't know how I feel about this. Although he is making me a cool superman tshirt.

This is me in a new tshirt Mommy made me this morning. It is a Little Britain tshirt - with Vicky Pollard on it. Mommy and Daddy LOVE little britain. They wish it was on tv here again. BRING BACK LITTLE BRITAIN!!!! We went to fetch to get Julian abirthday present and to home depot and Mommy was surprised at how many people knew what little britain was. Home depot was fun - I got to ride in the cart! Mommy fed me buffalo treats the WHOLE TIME! WHOO HOOOOO!!!Do you hate this bluew carpet as much as I do? I was trying to get rid of it. I bunched it all up and was trying to get it out of the washroom but Mommy stopped me.

I got this new collar at fetch today - it has cherries on it. Cool eh? Mommy said it was for cats but I could still wear it.

This is one thing we got for Julian - when you squeeze it there is a squeak and it's tail and trunk stick out - I wish it was for me.
